[1-1 表示装置の構成]
図1、図3は、本開示の一実施例である表示装置10の一構成例を示す断面図である。表示装置10は、駆動基板11と、複数の反射板13と、層間膜14と、複数の第1の電極15と、エレクトロルミネッセンス層と、第2の電極18と、保護層19とを備え、隣接する第1の電極15間に配置された絶縁層12を有する。以下では、エレクトロルミネッセンス層が有機EL層17である場合を例として説明を続ける。図3は、図1の一つのサブ画素の部分を抜き出した断面図である。
表示装置10では、駆動基板11上に形成された反射板13と、層間膜14と、第1の電極15と、有機EL層17と、第2の電極18は、有機EL素子100を形成する。表示装置10には、画素のレイアウトに対応して複数の有機EL素子100が形成される。有機EL素子100のレイアウトは、特に限定されない。図2Aの例では複数の有機EL素子100は、所定の2方向(図2AではX軸方向及びY軸方向)に二次元的に配列したレイアウトとなっている。図2Aは、表示装置10の表示面10Aの一実施例を説明するための平面図である。図2Aにおいて、符号10Bは、表示面10Aを取り囲む非表示部である。
図2Bに示す表示装置10の例では、1つの画素が、複数の色種に対応した複数のサブ画素の組み合わせで形成されている。この例では、複数の色種として赤色、青色、緑色の3色が定められ、サブ画素として、サブ画素101R、サブ画素101G、サブ画素101Bの3種が設けられる。サブ画素101R、サブ画素101G、サブ画素101Bは、それぞれ赤色のサブ画素、青色のサブ画素、緑色のサブ画素であり、それぞれ赤色、青色、緑色の表示を行う。図2A、図2B等に示す表示装置10の例では、サブ画素101R、サブ画素101G、サブ画素101Bに対応して、有機EL素子100R、有機EL素子100G、有機EL素子100Bが設けられている。ただし、図2A、図2B等の例は、一例であり、表示装置10を、複数の色種に対応した複数のサブ画素を有する場合に限定するものではない。色種は1種類でもよいし、画素がサブ画素を有することなく形成されてもよい。また、赤色、緑色、青色の各色種に対応する光(それぞれ赤色光、緑色光、青色光)は、それぞれ610nmから650nmの範囲、510nmから590nmの範囲、440nmから480nmの波長範囲に主波長を有する光として定めることができる。
駆動基板11は、基板11Aに複数の有機EL素子100を駆動する各種回路を設けている。各種回路としては、有機EL素子100の駆動を制御する駆動回路、複数の有機EL素子100に電力を供給する電源回路(いずれも図示せず)を例示することができる。
表示装置10には、共振器構造102が形成されている。共振器構造102は、キャビティ構造であり、後述する有機EL層17からの出射光を共振する構造である。表示装置10において、共振器構造102は、有機EL素子100に形成されており、反射板13、層間膜14、第1の電極15、有機EL層17及び第2の電極18が、共振器構造102を形成している。有機EL層17からの出射光を共振するとは、出射光に含まれる特定波長の光を共振することを示す。
有機EL層17からの出射光の共振は、第2の電極18と反射板13との間での反射で実現される。第2の電極18と反射板13との間の光路長(光学的距離と呼ぶことがある)は、予め定めた色種の光に応じて設定される。予め定めた色種は、サブ画素101で発光させたい色種である。例えば、サブ画素101Rに形成される共振器構造102Rでは、反射板13と第2の電極18との間の光路長は、赤色光の共振を生じるように設定される。サブ画素101G、101Bに形成される共振器構造102G、102Bについては、反射板13と第2の電極18との間の光路長は、それぞれ緑色光、青色光の共振を生じるように設定される。
表示装置10の平面視上、後述する開口部120に対応した領域を第1の領域Scとし、第1の電極15に対応した領域のうち第1の領域Scの外側に対応した領域を第2の領域Spとした場合に、表示装置10における共振器構造102においては、第1の領域Scと第2の領域Spに対応する部分いずれについても、有機EL層17からの出射光を共振する構造が形成される。
表示装置10では、第1の領域Scに対応する部分と第2の領域Spに対応する部分のいずれにも共振器構造102が形成されており、さらに共振器構造102では、第1の領域Scに対応する部分での共振次数と第2の領域Spに対応する部分での共振次数とが異なっている。すなわち、表示装置10は、共振器構造102における第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせている。図3に示す例では、共振器構造102に、第1の領域Scに対応する部分での第2の電極18と反射板13との間の光路長を第1共振構造E1の共振次数に応じた値とする構成、及び、第2の領域Spに対応する部分での第2の電極18と反射板13との間の光路長を第2共振構造E2の共振次数に応じた値とする構成が形成されることで実現することができる。
共振器構造102では、第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成が、共振条件を満たすことが好適である。共振条件とは、下記の数式1及び下記の数式2を満たしており、且つ、下記の数式3及び下記の数式4の組み合わせ、又は下記の数式5及び下記の数式6の組み合わせのいずれかの組み合わせを満たしていることを示す。
第1の実施形態にかかる表示装置10において、第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成(共振次数を不等化する構成)は、例えば、図3の例に示すように、反射板13のうち第1の領域Scに対応する部分の厚み(Wr1)と反射板13のうち第2の領域Spに対応する部分の厚み(Wr2)を、第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数に応じて互いに異なった値とすることで実現される。このとき、第1の領域Scに対応する部分における第1の電極15から反射板13までの離間距離が、第1共振構造E1の共振次数に対応した光学的距離に基づき定められた距離となる。第2の領域Spに対応する部分における第1の電極15から反射板13までの離間距離が、第2共振構造E2の共振次数に対応した光学的距離に基づき定められた距離となる。図1から図3の例では、共振器構造102R、102G、102Bそれぞれについて、個別に第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成が採用される。ただし、共振器構造102R、102G、102Bの一部について第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成が採用されてもよい。
駆動基板11の第1の面側には、複数の第1の電極15が設けられている。複数の第1の電極15は、サブ画素101のレイアウトに対応して2次元的に配置されている。複数の第1の電極15は、後述する層間膜14の第1の面上に形成されている。
隣り合う第1の電極15の間には、開口部120を有する絶縁層12が形成されている。絶縁層12は、後述する層間膜14の面上と第1の電極15の第1の面上に形成される。絶縁層12の開口部120は、表示装置10の平面視上、第1の電極15の形成された位置に形成されている。開口部120は、サブ画素101の配置パターンに応じたパターンで形成されており、開口部120の1つの区画がサブ画素101の単位区画を定義する。開口部120は、図1から図3の例に示すように、それぞれの第1の電極15の第1の面上に設けられている。開口部120が第1の電極15の第1の面上に形成されているとは、絶縁層12は第1の電極15の側端面と上面(第1の面)の外縁部を覆い、第1の電極15の上面側に乗り上げるように形成されることを示す。なお、表示装置10の平面視上とは、上下方向を視線方向とした場合を示すものとする。また絶縁層12は、隣り合う第1の電極15を電気的に分離する層である。絶縁層12は、特に限定されず、ポリイミド系樹脂等の有機絶縁膜で形成されてもよいし、窒化シリコン等の無機絶縁膜で形成されてもよい。
表示装置10において、有機EL層17は、図1、図3に示すように、第1の電極15と後述する第2の電極18の間に配置される。有機EL層17は、第1の電極15と絶縁層12の上を覆っている。図1の表示装置10の例では、有機EL層17は、全画素及び全サブ画素に共通の有機EL層となっている。
表示装置10において、第2の電極18が第1の電極15の第1の面側に配置されている。図1から図3の表示装置10の例では、第2の電極18は、全てのサブ画素101に共通の層となっているが、表示装置10は、これに限定されない。表示装置10は、有機EL層17と同様に、サブ画素101ごとに第2の電極18が形成されてもよいし、サブ画素101の色種ごとに第2の電極18が形成されてもよい。
反射板13は、第1の電極15の第2の面側に向かい合うように設けられている。反射板13は、第1の電極15ごとに設けられており、すなわちサブ画素101ごとに設けられる。また、反射板13は、第1の電極15を介して有機EL層17に向かい合う。反射板13は、有機EL層17からの出射光を反射する。
層間膜14は、第1の電極15の第2の面側に配置されており、反射板13の第1の面側を覆っている。図1から図3の例では、層間膜14内に反射板13が埋設されている。より具体的には、層間膜14は、2つの層(層間膜14Aと層間膜14B)で構成されており、層間膜14A上に反射板13が配置され、反射板13を覆うように層間膜14Bが形成されている。層間膜14は、駆動基板11の第1の面上を被覆する。層間膜14は、反射板13と第2の電極18との間の光学的距離を調整する光学調整層として機能する。反射板13と第2の電極18との間の光学的距離の調整は、層間膜14の第1の面と反射板13の第1の面との距離を定めることで実現することができる。
第2の電極18の上には、保護層19が形成されている。保護層19は、絶縁材料で形成される。絶縁材料としては、例えば、熱硬化性樹脂などを用いることができる。そのほかにも、絶縁材料としては、SiO、SiON、AlO、TiO等でもよい。この場合、保護層19として、SiO、SiON等を含むCVD膜や、AlO、TiO、SiO等を含むALD膜等を例示することができる。
保護層19の上には、カラーフィルタ層103が設けられていてもよい。カラーフィルタ層103は、カラーフィルタ層103は、サブ画素101に応じて設けられてよい。例えば、図1に示す表示装置10にカラーフィルタ層103が設けられる場合には、サブ画素101R、101G、101Bに応じたカラーフィルタ層103R、103G、103Bが設けられる。表示装置10にカラーフィルタ層103が設けられていることで、色純度をより一層向上させることができる。
また、カラーフィルタ層103の上に充填樹脂層104が形成されていてもよい。充填樹脂層104は、カラーフィルタ層103を保護する機能を有することができ、またカラーフィルタ層103の第1の面側を平坦化することができる。充填樹脂層104は、保護層19と後述の対向基板105を接着する接着層としての機能を有することができる。充填樹脂層104は、紫外線硬化型樹脂や熱硬化型樹脂等を例示することができる。
対向基板105は、充填樹脂層104上に、駆動基板11に対向させた状態で設けられている。対向基板105は、充填樹脂層104とともに有機EL素子100を封止する。対向基板105は、ガラス等の材料により構成されることが好ましい。
有機EL層を有する表示装置では、第1の電極の第1の面に絶縁層の開口部から露出した領域と絶縁層で被覆された領域を有し、且つ、これらの領域を覆うように有機EL層が形成されている場合、絶縁層の開口部から絶縁層で被覆された領域に向けて横方向にキャリア(ホール等)がリークすることがある。この場合、開口部だけでなく絶縁層における開口部の周縁の領域でも有機EL層の発光が生じる可能性がある。
上記で詳述した図1から図3の表示装置10の例では、第2共振構造E2の共振次数のほうが第1の共振構造の共振次数よりも大きい場合の一例が示されていた。表示装置10では、図5に示すように、第1共振構造E1の共振次数のほうが第2共振構造E2の共振次数よりも大きくてもよい。例えば、第1共振構造E1の共振次数が2で、第2共振構造E2の共振次数が1であってもよい。
[2-1 表示装置の構成]
本開示の第2の実施形態にかかる表示装置10について説明する。第2の実施形態にかかる表示装置10は、第1の実施形態と同様に、共振器構造102を有し、その共振器構造102に第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成を備える。第2の実施形態では、第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成は、図6に示すように、第1の電極15のうち第1の領域Scに対応する部分の厚みWe1と第2の領域Spに対応する部分の厚みWe2を第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数に応じて互いに異なった値とされることで実現される。第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成の他については、第1の実施形態にかかる表示装置10と同様である。
第2の実施形態にかかる表示装置10によれば、第1の実施形態にかかる表示装置と同様に、第1の領域Scと第2の領域Spとの色ずれを抑制することができる。
(変形例1)
上記で詳述した図6の表示装置10の例では、第2共振構造E2の共振次数が第1共振構造E1の共振次数よりも大きい場合の一例が示されている。第2の実施形態にかかる表示装置10では、図7に示すように、第1共振構造E1の共振次数のほうが第2共振構造E2の共振次数よりも大きくてもよい(変形例1)。すなわち、第2共振構造E2の共振次数のほうが第1共振構造E1の共振次数よりも小さくてもよい。例えば、第1共振構造E1の共振次数が2で、第2共振構造E2の共振次数が1であってもよい。第2の実施形態の変形例1にかかる表示装置10によれば、第1の領域Scと第2の領域Spとの色ずれを抑制することができる。
第2の実施形態にかかる表示装置10の変形例1では、第1共振構造E1の共振次数のほうが第2共振構造E2の共振次数よりも大きい場合の一例が示されている。その一例では、第1の電極15は、第2の領域Spに対応する部分を第1の領域Scに対応する部分よりも第2の面側を凹ませて、第2の領域Spに対応する部分と第1の領域Scに対応する部分の境界に段差を形成した形状となっている。第2の実施形態の変形例1にかかる表示装置10はこれに限定されない。すなわち、第1の電極15は、図8に示すように、第2の領域Spに対応する部分を第1の領域Scに対応する部分よりも第2の面側を凹ませた状態とされてよい(変形例2)。この図8に示す例では、第1の電極15は、第2の領域Spに対応する部分と第1の領域Scに対応する部分の境界に段差を形成した形状となっている。さらに、第1の電極15の第1の領域Scに対応する部分の一部分が、層間膜14の第1の面よりも下側に位置する状態となる。図8において、符号Pが、第1の電極15において層間膜14の第1の面よりも下側に位置する部分を示す。
[3-1 表示装置の構成]
本開示の第3の実施形態にかかる表示装置10について説明する。第3の実施形態にかかる表示装置10は、第1の実施形態や第2の実施形態と同様に、共振器構造102を有し、その共振器構造102に第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成を備える。第3の実施形態では、第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成は、第2の領域Spに対応する部分における絶縁層12の厚みを、第2の領域Spに対応する部分における共振次数と第1の領域Scにおける共振次数に応じた値とすることで実現される。第3の実施形態では、第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成の他については、第1の実施形態にかかる表示装置10と同様である。
第3の実施形態にかかる表示装置10によれば、第1の実施形態にかかる表示装置と同様に、第1の領域Scと第2の領域Spとの色ずれを抑制することができる。
[4-1 表示装置の構成]
本開示の第4の実施形態にかかる表示装置10について説明する。第4の実施形態にかかる表示装置10は、第1の実施形態から第3の実施形態と同様に、共振器構造102を有し、その共振器構造102に第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成を備える。第4の実施形態では、第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成は、第2の領域Spに対応する部分における絶縁層12の屈折率を、第2の領域Spに対応する部分における共振次数と第1の領域Scにおける共振次数に応じた値とすることで実現される。第4の実施形態では、第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成の他については、第1の実施形態にかかる表示装置10と同様である。
第4の実施形態にかかる表示装置10によれば、第1の実施形態にかかる表示装置と同様に、第1の領域Scと第2の領域Spとの色ずれを抑制することができる。
[5-1 表示装置の構成]
本開示の第5の実施形態にかかる表示装置10について説明する。第5の実施形態にかかる表示装置10は、第1の実施形態と同様に、共振器構造102を有し、その共振器構造102に第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成を備える。第5の実施形態では、第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成は、図10に示すように、層間膜14のうち第1の領域Scに対応する部分(第1の膜部分140A)の屈折率と第2の領域Spに対応する部分(第2の膜部分140B)の屈折率を第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数に応じて異なった値とされることで実現される。第1共振構造E1の共振次数と第2共振構造E2の共振次数を異ならせる構成の他については、第1の実施形態にかかる表示装置10と同様である。図10は、第2の実施形態にかかる表示装置10の一構成例を示す断面図である。
第5の実施形態にかかる表示装置10によれば、第1の実施形態にかかる表示装置と同様に、第1の領域Scと第2の領域Spとの色ずれを抑制することができる。
